General Description

The MAX3370/MAX3371 logic-level translators are ideal for applications interfacing low-voltage devices to other logic levels. Externally applied voltages set the logic levels of the MAX3370/MAX3371. The devices accept VCC from +2.5V to +5.5V and VL from +1.6V to +5.5V, allowing data transfer between low-voltage ASICs and higher voltage devices. The MAX3371 features a shutdown mode that reduces supply current to
